Trying to get my Verizon MiFi to auto-connect to my VPN server for content filtering, web cache, etc. Played with the OPVN file until I found the right combination of settings that didn’t cause the MiFi to error out.
I had to remove the line “mute-replay-warnings” from the OPVN config and, once I did, the MiFi took the drag and drop file. I also had to provide a dummy username and password as my OpenVPN server does not use username/password combos. I put “blank” and a random password on the MiFi field. Pics at the bottom of the post.
I don’t recommend using these settings verbatim, but use it as a reference for the VPN configuration file that you generate for your OpenVPN server.
OpenVPN config file settings are below and the file name is WhateverYouWant.opvn.
